<#
.SYNOPSIS This function creates Office 365 Groups, Distribution Groups, Mail-Enabled Security Groups, and Security Groups based on the data provided in an Excel file. .DESCRIPTION The function New-CT365Group takes the path of an Excel file, User Principal Name and a Domain as input. It creates Office 365 Groups, Distribution Groups, Mail-Enabled Security Groups, and Security Groups based on the data found in the Excel file. If a group already exists, the function will output a message and skip the creation of that group. .PARAMETER FilePath The full path to the Excel file(.xlsx) containing the data for the groups to be created. The Excel file should have a worksheet named "Groups". Each row in this worksheet should represent a group to be created. The columns in the worksheet should include the DisplayName, Type (365Group, 365Distribution, 365MailEnabledSecurity, 365Security), PrimarySMTP (without domain), and Description of the group. .PARAMETER UserPrincipalName The User Principal Name (UPN) used to connect to Exchange Online. .PARAMETER Domain The domain to be appended to the PrimarySMTP of each group to form the email address of the group. .EXAMPLE New-CT365Group -FilePath "C:\Path\to\file.xlsx" -UserPrincialName "admin@domain.com" -Domain "domain.com" This will read the Excel file "file.xlsx" located at "C:\Path\to\", use "admin@domain.com" to connect to Exchange Online, and append "@domain.com" to the PrimarySMTP of each group to form the email address of the group. .INPUTS System.String .OUTPUTS System.String The function outputs strings informing about the creation of the groups or if the groups already exist. .NOTES The function uses the ExchangeOnlineManagement and Microsoft.Graph.Groups modules to interact with Office 365. Make sure these modules are installed before running the function. .LINK Get-UnifiedGroup .LINK New-UnifiedGroup .LINK Get-DistributionGroup .LINK New-DistributionGroup .LINK Get-MgGroup .LINK New-MgGroup #> function New-CT365Group { [CmdletBinding()] param ( [Parameter(Mandatory, ValueFromPipeline, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName)] [ValidateScript({ #making sure the Filepath leads to a file and not a folder and has a proper extension switch ($psitem){ {-not([System.IO.File]::Exists($psitem))}{ throw "The file path '$PSitem' does not lead to an existing file.
